Cade 1959 Stercorarius longicaudus 20 May Pitmegea - a pair was seen flying over the study area south of camp. 21 May Pitmegea - a pair was seen briefly on the north side of the river around 1430 - beyond the first ridge of high greechel. 23 May Pitmegea - one was seen across the river from camp in the early afternoon, and I saw one fly across the river in the same area late in the evening. 25 May Pitmegea - three pairs were found today in the study area. The first of these was encountered along the creek (see general account) between river and first ridge, I shot both birds before it was determined that these birds were settled in a definite area. Two other pairs were definitely settled along the high ridge at the far side of the study area. One of these had its head down about 100 yds from the creek. The other pair seemed to occupy an area move to the clutter of the ridge
